Rishabh Pant has been India’s biggest success in the 2020-21 season. From not featuring in the playing XI in the Adelaide Test to helping India create history at Brisbane, he came a long way in a month’s time.
By the time last season ended, Pant had become a certainty across all formats. He also became the captain of the Delhi Capitals in IPL 2021 and the first Indian wicketkeeper-batsman to break into the top 10 of the ICC batting rankings.
In the span of 20 Tests, Pant has played some of the finest knocks by an Indian batter in Test cricket. He scored his first Test hundred in England, an experience which should be of immense benefit.
Pant’s rise as a batsman will enable India to play both Ravindra Jadeja and Ravichandran Ashwin as all-rounders. India’s middle-order proficiency for the big game heavily rests on Pant.
